[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer OP- it depends on the level of play at your child’s high school. Some schools are very competitive to get on varsity, others are not. I would find out more about the HS team, with the caveat that team standings can fluctuate year to year depending on a variety of factors. 
My own child- recruited FH player 
Elementary- club ice hockey (practice 3x week, games 2x week August to March), FH club (practice 1x week, no games, year round), town rec lacrosse (practice 2x week, game 1x week, spring only)
MS- club ice hockey (same schedule as elementary), FH club (practice 2x week, tournaments only, year round)
HS- varsity ice hockey (starter, practice 4x per week, games 2x per week winter only), club ice hockey (practice 1x per week, game 1x per week August to March), varsity FH (starter, practice 4x per week, games 2x per week, Fall only) club FH (practice 1x per week, tournaments only, year round).

Sounds crazy right? She wouldn’t have had it any other way. I often think that competitive athletes just want to do their thing. If she wasn’t doing that, she’d be bored out of her mind. Plus she volunteered every HS season, all honors/AP level classes, 4.0 UW GPA, attends one of the most rigorous NE Boarding schools. It’s possible to do it all, but the kid has to drive the bus on that otherwise they burn out real fast. [/quote]
